My daughter (10) just got a Dell Inspiron 1720 and now lugs it all over the house. I can't watch her all the time, though, and I don't want her to accidentally end up in the wrong place.
I installed Ubuntu on it for her, and let her dual boot with Vista. When she saw how much faster Ubuntu was, she was sold.
I'm sure the desktop cube had nothing to do with it.
Passwords are important. She and her friends shared Club Penguin password's once and their was much ado on the girl's gmail accounts. All of her correspondence in gmail is forwarded to me, that is how I knew. I keep telling her email is NOT private. Don't write anything that you wouldn't want published in the school newspaper.
Why the router? How are you going to block lynx,wget,curl or any of the couple dozen Linux LiveCDs I've left laying around the house?
Oh, and let your wife set the password on the router.
Everyone knows the only reason Columbus is a city is that they annexed every farmer within a hundred miles to make their population bigger than Cleveland.

Enunciating clearly with short pauses between each word generally helps quite a lot, just as it does when talking to foreigners with limited fluency in a language.
If you are extracting the oil from the algae, then you will have a net reduction in carbon. What do you think the remaining gunk (the mass that is not oil) will be made of?
1.2 Reactions The principle reactions occurring in the electrolytic cell that produces sodium hypochlorite are quite simple, as shown in the following:
Oxidation of the chloride ion occurs at the anode:
2Cl- -> 2Cl2 + 2e-
Followed by a rapid hydrolysis of the chlorine:
Cl2 + H2O -> HOCl + HCl
Reduction of the sodium ion occurs at the cathode:
Na+ + e- -> Na
Followed by a rapid reaction of the sodium with water:
Na+ + H2O -> 1/2H2 + NaOH
The acids (HCl and HOCL) produced at the anode react with the base (NaOH) produced at the cathode:

1. Terrorists storm a reactor and try to steal uranium or plutonium to make bombs.
Not likely. Assuming attackers could shoot their way past the beefed-up phalanx of armed guards, traffic barriers and guard towers that now surround every nuclear plant, they'd still have to fight their way into the reactor building through multiple levels of remote-activated blast doors--where access requires the right key card and palm print--to get to the spent-fuel pond, says Michael Wallace, president of Constellation Energy's generation group, which operates five nuclear reactors. The pond is where highly radioactive used fuel sits in 14-foot-long stainless steel assemblies cooling under 40 feet of water. Terrorists couldn't just grab this stuff and run because, unshielded, it gives off a lethal dose of radiation in less than a minute. To avoid exposure, terrorists would have to force workers to use a giant crane inside the reactor to load the assemblies into huge transfer casks, then open the mammoth doors of the reactor building and use another crane to lift the cask onto a waiting truck--all the while being shot at by the National Guard.
And While we are at it, How about crashing a plane into the reactor?
2. Terrorists crash a plane into a reactor, leading to overheating and a meltdown.
Even less likely. Assume that terrorists could get past tightened airport security and fight off passengers to get through new, improved cockpit doors and take control of a plane. Even then they'd have to crash the jet directly into a reactor to have any chance of breaking containment. In 2002 the Electric Power Research Institute performed a $1 million computer simulation to assess such a risk. Conclusion: A direct hit from a 450,000-pound Boeing 767 flying low to the ground at 350mph would ruin a plant's ability to make electricity but not break the reactor's cement shield. Reason: A reactor, smaller in profile than the Pentagon or World Trade Center, would not absorb the full force of the plane's impact. And, for all the force behind it, a plane, built of aluminum and titanium, has far less mass than the 20-foot-thick steel-and-concrete sarcophagus enclosing a nuclear reactor. It would be like dropping a watermelon on a fire hydrant from 100 feet.
This hardware is ancient, hardwired, and low tech. Suppliers are most likely limited to GE, Westinghouse and Combustion Engineering.
The side benefit is that the engineers would have to get out of their chairs and go walk their systems down. If they didn't get lost...those plants are huge.
Based on the Atomic Energy Act, the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issues licenses for commercial power reactors to operate for up to 40 years and allows these licenses to be renewed for another 20 years. A 40-year license term was selected on the basis of economic and antitrust considerations--not technical limitations.
The first 40-year operating licenses will expire for three plants in the year 2009. Of the 100 remaining operating plants, 23 will have their licenses expire by the year 2015. The decision whether to seek license renewal rests entirely with nuclear power plant owners, and typically is based on the plant's economic situation and whether it can meet NRC requirements.
The NRC has established a license renewal process that can be completed in a reasonable period of time with clear requirements to assure safe plant operation for up to an additional 20 years of plant life.
I would not expect all of them to renew their licenses. Also no new nukes are expected to be built in the US.

I was talking about the kind of upgrades that force you to wipe your hard disk and start over.
I just wanted something that worked. I was tired of the endless cycle of upgrades. So I went to Debian and all of my problems were solved.
Except that I still can't use my printer. At least with Linux, you can hold out hope that it might work someday...

The acids (HCl and HOCL) produced at the anode react with the base (NaOH) produced at the cathode:
HCl + NaOH -> NaCl + H2O and,
HOCl + NaOH -> NaOCl + H2O
The net reaction of electrolysis is:
NaCl + H2Oe- -> NaOCl + H2
The amount of hypochlorite produced is related directly to the amount of direct electrical current passed through the cell.

Terrorists couldn't just grab this stuff and run because, unshielded, it gives off a lethal dose of radiation in less than a minute.
